Feeling better today. I've been so exhausted the last few days but unable to sleep. I went out to the city today just to do something and got some energy back when I got home. Every day is a new day.

~~~~~

I need to go out for a bit and re-energize myself.  A city walk sounds like plan...or maybe a walk on the island.

Trying not to feel bad about blowing off everything today just so I can keep a high score on the Duolingo leaderboard.  I joined a tournament and they had me thinking that it ended as of this past Sunday.  Nope.  Apparently there were 2 weeks of semifinals after the week of qualifying for the tournament and now this week is the Finals.

 

I've been first place on the leaderboard for the past 3 weeks...there is no way I'm not finishing at the top after all of this.  But this had better be the final week of the tournament or else I will................not be getting any sleep as I go for maintaining my first place status until this is all over with.

:rant:

A bit deflated.

 

Over the years I've had to let people go. It's part of being a manager. Having to let someone go who did nothing wrong, well, that demoralized me.

 

I sat there. Recited the HR text. I watched a good person crumble in front of me. I saw their heart break. Their life come undone in front of my eyes - with no fault of their own.

 

Just a victim of corporate restructuring. 

 

I don't want this anymore.

That sucks, it really does. It's probably one reason why I'm not management. I'm not sure if I even have what's 'looked for' to qualify to be management.

It never gets easy regardless of the reason for the "let go".

I'm sure you fought as hard as you could for them and will be a great reference.

 

Life is change, and it's extremely often that we don't get to choose how it changes.

 

Hey, at least they didn't die on the job or something like that.

 

Sorry, I'm not very good at this moral support shit.

I'm finally on track to take care of things, but it feels like something is holding me back.  It's like I can just barely put my finger on it, but it's just slightly out of reach.

Feels like I have so much stuff up in the air...now I just need to ground them.  Not my idea of a personal cloud service.  Feels like I'm not managing my time properly for everything that needs to be done.

Feeling like I am about to save a metric fuck ton of money. We found more Chinese smuggled cigarettes in a shipment today. I got 10 cartons. Fuck yeah!

 

Hope they're not counterfeit, but if they are enjoy your lice I guess.  I just hope they don't have asbestos filters (warning, loud audio):

Feels like today took off and drug me with it dangling by a leash.  I'm smashing into everything and having to handle it on the spot.  However, feels like I have a little downtime at the moment.

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
